through the trials and tribulations of life and infertility

God is waiting on me!

Wow! I heard this teaching from An.drew Wom.mack – How to receive a miracle and I got such a revelation on waiting! I’m not waiting on God – He is waiting on me! I’m just going to quote a little bit of this teaching for you, just the part that I mentioned now, but I would actually recommend you listen to all of it!

“Many Christians believe there is no certain path to get your miracle. They believe you wish, you hope, you pray and maybe God will do it, or maybe He won’t. That there is no way that you can grab hold of something and make it happen, but that is not what the Bible teaches!

One of the things that the Lord has done in my (An.drew Wom.mack) life is to establish the integrity of His Word. That God is not hit and miss. God does not sometimes do this and then sometimes do that. Sometimes people say that you never know what God is going to do, you can’t put God into a box – basically what that is, is an excuse so that if you pray and it doesn’t work you can say, “well it wasn’t God’s will.”

No that is not so! I guarantee you God is predictable. God is the one who created everything physical around us, and you know this physical world is so orderly. It just amazes me the precision of everything God made – the heavens and the earth. You know when they shoot these rockets to other planets; I mean everything is so predictable! You can tell 10 years, 20 years, 30 years from now where a planet is going to be, because God set up a system. Everything works perfectly – we’ve got these 10 year calendars, you can show things 10 years in advance… How can you do this? Because God made an orderly world, and it’s crazy to think that someone who created something so orderly is Himself disorganized.

“You never know what God’s going to do. God will do it this way one time and that way the next time.” God is not like that! God is not schizophrenic! God is predictable. God is the same yesterday, today and forever! One of the things that has blessed me tremendously in my walk with the Lord is just knowing that, “God you are forever faithful, God you will never fail me.” I don’t have to hope and wish and pray that God will answer my prayers.

There are laws that govern the things of God. Romans 3:27 (KJV):“27Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.” There is a law of faith. Faith is governed by law – law is something that is unchangeable. That means it doesn’t just work sometimes. Did you know the Kingdom of God operates under law? It’s consistent.

You know if someone is killed by gravity – do we sometimes wonder why God did that? God didn’t do it! God just put down laws – if you jump off a 15 storey building gravity is going to kill you. God didn’t look at you and say, “O! I’m going to teach you!” There is a law that is in effect and you learn how to co-operate with it. It can work for you – like you are sitting on a chair, there is no problem, you don’t have to hold on to it, it’s not a struggle, because gravity is there for your own benefit – you learn how to co-operate with it. But if you ignore those laws and you begin to go contrary to it you will get killed by the same law that intended to be for your own good.

It’s the same thing with God. There are laws that govern the operation of God. I’m saying all this to give you an introduction to how do you receive a miracle from God. One of the first things to recognize is that miracles are not just hit and miss, that it’s not, “you never know whether they will work or not, you can’t tap into a miracle.” You learn the laws of God, you learn how things work, you do them and you can receive your miracle from God. You can see God move into your life!

Somebody is thinking, “Now are you saying that you can just push a button and make God turn out, You can turn God on or off, you can make Him do whatever you want to.” No! What I’m saying is God is on all the time. Every time you get turned on you can see the power of God operate, Amen? God always wants to move on your behalf! It’s not you controlling God, God is always for you! God is a good God. God desires for you to prosper. God’s will is for you to be healthy. God’s will is for you to be above and not beneath and if you are not in one of those categories it’s not God that you’re waiting on to perform a miracle, God is waiting on us to learn and to reach out and to flip that switch and to turn on the power of God to release His ability in our life! You are the one that controls God’s ability in your life! Not God! Now it is God’s power, it is His ability, but it is up to you!

Ephesians 3:20 (KJV):“20Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,”

If you leave out the phrase, “according to the power that works in us,” you do not have the truth. God is not able to do abundantly, exceedingly, whatever we ask or think period, because if there isn’t any power working in you, if you aren’t believing God, if there is no positive force on the inside of you, you can stop God’s intervention in your life.

See a lot of people think, “Now, wait a minute, God is God! Nobody controls God! Nobody can tell God what to do!” It’s not the fact that God is limited by you, it’s not having more authority in power in God, God can do whatever he wants to, but God has chosen to never violate your will. God has chosen to flow through you, that is what this scripture says – according to the power that works in you, so if you turn the power off in you then you turn off God’s power in your life. You can stop God’s power, Satan can’t stop God, but you can! Satan can’t stop God from doing anything! But you can stop God in your life and brothers and sisters many of us, without knowing it, are stopping God from moving in our life.

There are a lot of things, I can’t tell you everything I know in three sessions, but we’re going to be hitting on some highlights of things. I want to get some things across to you – that praise God, God wants you to prosper, God has a miracle for you. God can supernaturally intervene in your life, but you are going to get off your spiritual duff and begin to believe God. We are going to get off dead centre and quit waiting on God, and saying, “God, I’m waiting on you,” and recognize that God is waiting on us! Amen?”
